[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2351588, member: 25831"] I wouldn't try and mess with a good thing. You got a barrel that shoots, it may not with someone messing with it. For the weight savings with just a cold bore and a follow up "hunting rig" I think it has been worth it. If you are shooting long strings, I would say not so much. I get heavy mirage off the barrel, groups start to walk a bit if I don't let it cool down. It settles back in if you don't shoot it like a match rifle. Light weight steel can do the same though. Not having the super cold feel of steel on my hands...priceless. Worth the extra $300. My rigs are heavier than what I think most are using them for in an "ultra light" style, but I top them with optics that aren't light. [/QUOTE]
